algesten's comment seems entirely accurate to me. He's not claiming that the captured frame buffer will be of lower quality, but that in order to distribute it afterwords, you would need to recompress the captured frames. That rec

As others have mentioned in top-level comments, definitely give Kotlin a try, as it is specifically designed in response to your conclusion about Scala. I've been using Kotlin full-time for over a year, and I've really enjoyed it.
